[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] Well, [C] when the movie [Eb] roles went away, it was Vegas, now I'm a TV star. _
_ _ _ _ _ I had a Follies [N] number once, a solo, _ [Bb] for a count the goddamn thing in Philadelphia.
_ See, they thought [Gm] it was a sad song, but it kept on getting laughs.
They told me to sing it sad, _ _ so I did.
[Eb] I got out there and I gave them [Ab] sack.

I'm still here.
_ [Ab] _ [Eb] The lush velvet sometimes, [C] sometimes.

_ _ I've stuck the [C] daybeams in my [Ab] shoes.
_ [Gm]
Strung ukuleles [C] on [Bb] the blues.
I've seen all my _ dreams, but _ [Eb] _
I'm _ here.
_ [Ab] _ [Bb] _
I've slept in [Eb] shanties, [Bb] guessed up the _
[Eb] WPA, [Bb] but [Eb] I'm here.
[Ab] _ _
[Eb] _ [Bb] Danced in ice [Fm] candies, three [Bb] pops a [Eb] night was the thing, but I'm [Bb] [Cm] here. _

[Ab] _ [G] Watched while the [Gm] [Bbm] headlines did the rest.

[C] _
_ [Ab] I got through [Fm] eight [Bb] _ [D] Syringe rows.
[G] Five Dion [Gm] babies, major [Bb] [Fm] bows.
And E.B..G.B.s, the BBs.

[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ [F] I've been [Eb] through Reno, I've been through Beverly Hills, and I'm here. _ _ Brave birds in Reno, rescues, religion, and hills, but [D] I'm [Cm] here. _ [Fm] Been called a [Bb] pinko, call me [Ab] Sue. [G] Got through extinction [Bb] by my [Gm] pool. [Fm] I should have [Bbm] gone to an acting school. [Gm] _ _ That [G] seems to be it. But I [Fm] said, my soft spot said, [Eb] she's sincere, so I'm _ _ here. _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Cm] Black's [Ab] hateful one day, [Eb] next day, goes into hot, and I'm here. [Bb] You [Eb] talk, you're a Monday, [Db] Tuesday, [Bbm] you're chugging [Eb] and stuck, [Bb] but I'm here. [C] _ [Fm] First you're [D] another, so I'm back. _ [G] _ Someone's mother, [Gm] then you're a [C] can, [Fm] then you career, from career [Gm] to career. _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ [Fm] I'm almost [Bb] through my mentors, and [Eb] I'm here. _ _ _ I've gone [Cm] through Hayley, _ _ _ [D] _ [Gm] wow, [D] wanna look [Gm] who you were.

[B] My [Dbm] dear, I [Bm] am [G] still here. [E] Watched film, some died, [Bm] sometimes just [B] wrestled [Dbm] some fear, but I'm [Db] here. _ _ [Gb] I run the gamut, [G] ain't [B] thirsty. [Eb] _ [Fm] Great change, and [Db] then I'm still out there. [Gbm] I got through all of last year, [Abm] and I'm here. _ _ _ [Ab] _ [Gbm] _ _ _ _
